UniMax
Oil/Water Separators
Conventional separating processes are based on gravity settling and the
gravity difference between oil and water.
These processes follow a
convention based on Stokes
Law, which determines the
minimum amount of residence
time (Tr) necessary for liquids
to separate from one another.
Time (Tr)
Result: Large and expensively designed equipment
The UniMax system,
by contrast, uses cyclonic separation
principles that rely primarily upon
centrifugal force to more effectively
separate the mixture.
Combines Gravity, Accelerated Coalescence and Centripetal Vortex
Separation in One Unit
Lower Capital Costs
Lower Operating Costs
Oil/Water Separations can normally be accomplished with little or no thermal
energy addition.
No Chemicals

UniMax Multiphase Dewatering
UniMax Cyclonic Separation has several advantages over gravity
based settling systems.
Here are just a few to consider:
UniMax Multiphase Dewatering
• No Process Heat Required
• Efficient separation can normally be
accomplished in a single pass unit at
ambient well conditions, offering
significant operating savings
UniMax Multiphase Dewatering
No Chemicals Required
Separations can normally be performed without the use of water
clarifier or demulsifier chemical additives

Compact
Small diameter pressure vessels provide efficient high volume loading with a small footprint

Low Operation & Differential Pressures
Process driven by existing system energy. No
additional pumps are usually required
Operating Differential pressures typically
ranging from 3.5 to 10.0 psi

UniMax Dewatering Performance
UniMax is best utilized in Dewatering flows located close to producing wells prior to Group Line transport or as an Inlet Separation (FWKO)
meaning ahead of Oil Treaters
In either application, Dewatering using the UniMax technology is targeted at removing a minimum of
85% to 95% of free water volumes.
This results in a significant reduction in fluid volumes to existing facilities.
UniMax Dewatering Performance
Typically a single pass system,
the UniMax is able to achieve
the following:
For Medium to Light Crude
(18/30˚API) containing 80% or
more water, outlet water
qualities are typically in the
range of 40 to 70 ppm.
For Light Crude (+30 ˚API)
containing 80% or more water.
outlet water qualities are
typically less than 20 ppm.
Additional passes can reduce
the oil in water content to trace
amounts (< 5 ppm).
Outlet BS&W content varies with oil properties and
concentrations.
De-Oiling
UniMax De-Oiling
Oily Water can
be treated prior
to injection
or
In series with or
without other
water treatment
technology.
